The Broncos continue to show their interest in accomplished veteran players.

The team will host former Eagles running back Brian Westbrook for a visit at Dove Valley on Thursday, according to a league source.

Westbrook, 30, was released by the Eagles after the 2009 season, which was his least productive year since his rookie season. Westbrook missed eight games in 2009 and dealt with serious concussion issues.

On Tuesday, Westbrook visited the Washington Redskins, but left without signing a contract.

Denver surely would be a comfortable destination for Westbrook, who count reunite here with his former Eagles teammates Correll Buckhalter and Brian Dawkins. All three are close friends. (Westbrook has plenty of connections, too, in Washington, with former Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb and brother Byron Westbook both on the Redskins’ roster.)

If the Broncos were to sign Westbrook, he would join a backfield that already includes Knowshon Moreno, Buckhalter and J.J. Arrington. The Broncos carried four running backs on their roster in 2009, though that included Peyton Hillis, who could double as a fullback and also played special teams. To keep four backs in 2010, the team would likely need special teams contributions as well from a couple of them. Arrington would be a top candidate to return kickoffs.

Moreno, one of the team’s first-round draft picks in 2009, figures to get the bulk of the carries in 2010, though the team will likely continue to use a rotation. Last year, Moreno and Buckhalter split carries, often alternating by offensive series. Westbrook or Arrington could be a better third-down option.

The AP asked the voters to re-vote this week after it was revealed that Cushing tested positive for a performance enhancing drug last September, the first month of his rookie year. Cushing received 18 votes in balloting that concluded earlier Wednesday, beating Buffalo defensive back Jarius Byrd, who received 13. The voters vote for only one player.

Cushing received 39 of the 50 votes in the initial vote at the end of the 2009 season. In that vote, Byrd received six votes.

Not going to lie, I was surprised by Wednesday’s result, probably because of how much backlash there had been in some media circles in the past couple of days, with high-profile writers like Peter King from Sports Illustrated arguing for the award to be taken from Cushing. Like I wrote here yesterday, I don’t have a vote (nor do my Denver Post colleagues) but had I re-voted, I would have switched away from Cushing.

So tell me, was this the right final result? Does Cushing still deserve the award, or is still tainted? Should the way these winners are selected be changed? Tell us what you think in the comments here or by replying to @postbroncos on Twitter.

Floyd Little has selected his son, Marc, to present him for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio on Aug. 7.

Little was elected to the Hall in February. He is the third Denver Bronco to earn a spot there. The first Bronco to be elected to the Hall of Fame, also had a child — his daughter, Jessica — present him in Canton.

“It gives me extraordinary joy to present my dad to the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” Marc Little said in a release from the Hall of Fame. “I’m humbled to be the representative who will speak on behalf of our family many of whom equally deserve to be presenters. Our family will all stand together and witness the crowning achievement of a spectacular career.”

Dick LeBeau, who along with Little was nominated by the Hall’s senior committee, has picked his brother, Bob, for the presentation. The presenters for the other five members of the Hall class of 2010 are current or former NFL personnel — coaches, owners or former owners.
